Speaking as the American in France, I stared in horror and complete befuddlement when I was expected to pay for the privilege of driving on a public highway. (CA has its share of toll roads but nothing nearly to the expanse of France.)

My question is how does the rest of Europe compare? Particularly Spain and Italy...

Also a quick nod to the Shadows of Europe team, I've said it before, but you guys did an excellent job. I feel the flow from past to future and love how you were able to root a lot of material in the history of Europe. I only hope that SoA does the same.
